John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer has no concerns about Tipperary’s lack of experience in Croke Park.
Surprisingly, over half of the team that will face local rivals Kilkenny in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final have never played at GAA headquarters before, but ‘Bubbles’ doesn’t expect that to be a problem.
“I don’t think it will be a big issue, there is plenty of experience in that dressing-room,” the two-time All-Ireland SHC winning forward told Tipp FM.
“The way players prepare for games and the way they go about everything is so precise.
“I don’t think it will be an issue for any of these players and all of these players, the eight lads you mentioned (who haven’t played in Croke Park), they play for Tipperary, they are not going to be short of confidence going up to Croke Park for an All-Ireland semi-final.
“I don’t think the stadium will matter.”
